Emergency Housing Operations and Supportive Services - (REISSUE OF 24-43)

Montgomery County is issuing a reissued Request for Proposal (RFP 24-81) to secure contractors capable of providing supportive services and operational management at up to three designated sites. These sites are intended to serve as short-term, non-congregant emergency shelters for single adults experiencing homelessness, with the capacity to host between 20 and 60 individuals each. The shelters will be strategically located across the east, west, and central regions of the county to enhance access to emergency housing and support services. During emergencies such as Code Red and Code Blue, these sites will also offer overflow community space, ensuring continuous shelter availability without requiring guests to leave during their stay. The project emphasizes minimizing entry barriers while maintaining safety for guests, staff, and the surrounding community, with the shelter operating on a 24/7 basis and allowing guests to remain at the site at all times. The contract, valued between 5 million and 15 million dollars, is open to organizations within the State, Local, Education, and Nonprofit sectors, with the primary location in Pennsylvania. Interested parties are encouraged to submit proposals by January 9, 2025. This opportunity builds on a previous solicitation (RFP 24-43), and those who responded to the earlier RFP are not required to resubmit. The solicitation aims to enhance emergency housing infrastructure and support services to address homelessness effectively across Montgomery County. Further details and the application link are available on the official Montgomery County procurement portal.
